And where are you?

"Bright, vibrant car colors such as yellow, green, and orange may look exciting, but according to the study, U.S. customers on the coasts and customers in most European countries prefer the classic core colors such as white, black, silver, and gray."

My car is a weird pale green, best described as "pistachio". It is so far from my first choice it's not even funny. My favourite car colour is red, and I've always owned red cars. Then I was in a serious car crash and totalled my brand new red car. I was unemployed at the time, so didn't want car payments, and I got a great deal on a used 06 Hyundai Elantra with only 49K on it. I love everything about the car except the colour, which makes me cringe everytime I see it. At least it's easy to find in parking lots.

My car is black...while I love my car (Pontiac G6, 2009) it is hard to keep black clean looking!

[Fresia]

My current one is hunter green, shows everything and gets so much hotter in the interior. I actually prefer white, for safety too; it's more visible.

[Hippie]

Forest green with dings in the front bumper where I drive into the lawnmower in the garage. Move the mower? What? And be without the dings? They add character.

NYC buses are blue and white.

I've had a grey car. My last one was white. But after I totalled it, I went to a car lot to look at Ford Fusions. There were some tame-colored ones there, but I was drawn to the cherry red, sporty one, and I ended up driving it home! Okay, I might be having a late mid-life crisis, but it is a fun to drive!

Mine is a navy blue metallic that is pretty, but I live on a dirt road and it is constantly dirty...of course, any color would be!

Bright Yellow - I love it.

Silver, not by choice, but affordablity. I love to have the Ford new car in the leaf green, Small, sporty, easy to see, and can pay half the gas to go the same places I go with my huge sliver Le Something. My, last car died just before X-mas, no money for what I want. The first car I cold pay in full that My mechanic approved, I bought. I really wanted a red ford fustion same price but my mechanic nexed it, newer, small but he said no ballon things, the engine showed hard wear, thought it might have been in a crash with no pillow things. That was the only afordable small car, but mines all paid for and my insureance went down, so I'll take the siver and be an over the pond personality!!

Mine is invisible, but when I am old enough to have one hoping to have a red one x

[Yoda]

My car is grey with a grey interior. It is a convertible which is something I wanted all my life and I finally realized I should buy it now before my life ends. I love my car.

[ladyjrnlist]

Mine is the color of dirt, basically. Tan. Never looks like it needs a washing. LOL.

[HalfSwede]

Mine's hunter green. 10 y.o. I'm still getting used to the fine film of dirt that seems to coat everything in Chicago.

blue onyx

[PTSDlovemycats]

Mine is silver. I have also had a black car and a red car before.

[pachyderm]

Mine is blue-green, and I got it because that is the color that the (used) car I was buying came with. It is considerably hotter in the summertime than my old beige one was.

Speaking of hot cars, do you remember the old wing windows that you could turn to funnel air into your car, or the hood scoops to do the same? Not all changes are for the good.

[ECHOES]

Gray-silvery gray.

[buttrfli42481]

White.

[googley]

My car is silver, but the one I replaced was maroon. But then they have been used cars and I haven't really been able to choose the color. I don't know what I would if I could. I liked my parent's plum and blue cars growing up. So I might go for those.

[XxLifexX]

My car is invisible... but that's just because I can't drive.... but the car that will be mine is black--classic and classy.

[whenwillitend]

My car is silver, and I'm in Colorado.

[missbelle]

My Hyundai is called blue ice......sort of light blue with a silver glow

My car is an off white Subaru Forester and I love it!
